点评:My daughter, my friend from primary school (so long ago now) and her daughter, had a lovely girl's day out in Montville. Our adventure culminated with an afternoon "Clay Experience - Group Class" with Anne Gentry-Smith. We had so much fun. Anne is very generous and good with people. She guided us to create our own lovely pottery pieces. We left them with Anne for glazing and firing, once they dried. We also enjoyed her shop, which inspired us to decide on our glazes. Anne has some wonderfully creative pottery pieces on display and for sale. I love her designs and colours. Later, I returned to glaze my pieces and also to pick up the fired pottery. Everyone LOVED the pottery they made! Who would have thought we could have created such beautiful pottery pieces...that look to me, like professional! :) Certainly it put an end to those negative voices I heard on the way in...'there is no way I will be able to do this'!!! All this and we also enjoyed afternoon tea overlooking their fine view to the coast. Such a lovely spot to visit and share with Anne. Thank you.
